Malta's healthcare system is a mix of public and private sectors, with a tax-supported publicly funded National Health Service (NHS) providing universal coverage to citizens and legal residents. The entire system is centrally managed by the Ministry for Health.
[[hasCancerCenter::Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Centre (SAMOC)]]


Through the NHS, citizens and legal residents have access to free primary care, hospital care, and specialist care, as well as prescription drugs and some dental care. Private health insurance is also available for those who wish to have access to additional services or prefer to seek treatment outside of the public system. That being said, Malta has one of the highest out-of-pocket expenditures in the European Union, with 70% of primary care being performed by private general practitioners.

To access healthcare benefits, individuals must present their Maltese ID card or residence permit, and healthcare services are available to them free of charge.

Malta has a comprehensive electronic health records system that records patient data, medical histories, and treatment plans. The Malta Health Information System (MHIS) integrates claims data, registries, and electronic health records to provide a more efficient and effective healthcare service. The system is overseen by the Malta Information Technology Agency and is accessible to all healthcare professionals within the public sector.
